Working with Marcello was a highlight of our trip to Italy, and if you are able to book him for your visit, I would most highly recommend him. From start to finish Marcello is a professional - prepared, knowledgable, enthusiastic, funny, understanding and engaging. We were a group of three generations, ranging in age from 70 to 12. Marcello planned the perfect series of activities for us. He researched our family history and took us on a walking tour of their former town, adjusted his plans to find something that my teenage children would love, and fielded all our questions easily and with love for Sicily and it's rich and varied history and terrain. My whole family really enjoyed Marcello and got so much out of trip - we learned about history, art, agriculture, WWII, architecture, and how people happily co-exist with Mt. Etna. Thank you for such a wonderful visit, Marcello, The Tomaselli/Batemans are grateful!
